Failures are normal rather than exceptional in the cloud computing environments. To improve system availability, replicating the popular data to multiple suitable locations is an advisable choice, as users can access the data from a nearby site. This is, however, not the case for replicas which must have a fixed number of copies on several locations. How to… (More)

A learning and adaptive control scheme for a general class of unknown MIMO discrete-time nonlinear systems using multilayered recurrent neural networks (MRNNs) is presented. A novel MRNN structure is proposed to approximate the unknown nonlinear input-output relationship, using a dynamic back propagation (DBP) learning algorithm. Based on the dynamic neural… (More)
